Anyone can write an app and host it somewhere else. Imagine this situation: we work hardly we release E. Great. But when people start to write modules and apps using EFL they will be using their own places to host their work. The fact that Ephoto, Exhibit and Extract (for example) are hosted on E CVS does not make them "special" or essential parts of the project. They are separate projects. They are all important because they are some of the first good and working apps written using EFL. Nothing more. Thus, in my opinion, we have to document their features in the wiki - as every new application that will pop up in the future (if the author(s) wants to use E's wiki). > > >> 3) Rewrite/update the current developers documentation for core EFL. >> Libraries that are outside of core EFL should have their documentation >> on the wiki.

Well, the biggest and maintained libraries can have their subdomains and separate websites with docs, wikis and whatever you want.Etk had its own web site, but seems that it's currently offline. But I just don't see a reason to include, for example, Engrave - small library, not much maintained, don't need big documentation, so a wiki page(s) perhaps will be the proper choice for it. If you really want all working/maintained libs documented on the site - ok, no problem. Yet, read above what I've said about the apps and modules - imo, its the same situation with the libs that E does not depend on. > > Themeing and translation docs should appear on the wiki as they'll > inherently have a lot of changes.
